Abominable Snowman Busted For DUI After Wreck In Oregon

This arrest was definitely a cold case. The abominable snowman was charged this week with driving under the influence in St. Helens, Oregon ― and the arresting officer was none other than Officer Santa Claus.

The town kicked off its holiday crackdown on impaired drivers with a press release detailing Monday’s fake arrest. Dispatchers received calls of a driver swerving between lanes and sideswiping a parked vehicle, according to the statement, and the driver, Abominable T. Snowman, was charged with DUI and reckless driving.

The snow-loving Snowman had a blood-alcohol level of 0.16 percent ― twice the legal limit in Oregon, according to St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss.
